Residents of Arabuko Sokoke forest, inland from the mangroves. Resources for the Elephants In Watamu episode. The recovered population of 200 Sokoke elephants coming to drink in the evening, 10 years after the forest was fenced to protect only 40 remaining elephants. Filmed by the research team of writer Susan Kung'u and Sherald Oruko when they went to explore the area for the series. Look at the darling baby elephants as the families greet each other! Almasi will fly among them, on her butterfly.

Flutterbys Roadmap

Ep 3 & 4 are currently planned to have the same credits list; Ep 5 will have a new set to collect to make the credits.

For Episode 1 & 2 we had fantastic 1hr launch events on a Saturday, attended by children from all over the country; schools in Nakuru & Eldoret, a wildlife club in Samburu. With funding we can expand that, sending students home with laptops & data to their local school to support them in attending. Because even sending money for bundles isn't enough to support attendance, in many areas, & the young people at the Uni love to take care of technology challenges for the next generation. If we can do it regularly, for the next 11 episodes of Season 1, we can have a drawing competition as part of the event too. Watch your contribution at work.

The Almasi Studio

Here is the space the studio has at Multimedia University, and 2 of our animators. By buying our NFTs you will enable it to fill up, busy with people & machines, so we can finish Season 1.
